`Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are your own fears'
Rudyard Kipling
All of us get ideas. But few of us notice the same. Among the few who notice, even fewer act on the same. The percentage of those who persevere on one good idea is even fewer! The ability to work on an idea till it succeeds ultimately is the trait I notice in great achievers which I find missing in ordinary people.
Some ideas have really transformed our life. Some of them are: that man can fly, that we can speak through wire, that the world is not flat but round, that man can land on the moon, that a ship made of iron can float on water, that wheels can make our travel easier, that a paper message can be electronically transmitted, that telephones need not have wires, that the characters in a movie can speak, etc.
All these were ideas which came in someone's mind. All those people were ridiculed by others. I read somewhere that a good idea has to pass through the stages of: ridicule, resistance and criticism before that they are accepted.
Achievers don't brush aside the unsupportive attitude of others. But they don't slip into fear. Ordinary people slip into fear and give up their ideas!
